Sorry for the long absence! I haven't had much time to knit but I did crank out about 25 rows on this sweater this weekend.

I was a bit intimidated to begin this project, I'll admit. I did mess up my pattern in a few different places that I ripped out and fixed individually. After I got done with five or six rows and still had a problem with how the pattern was turning out, I cut my losses and ripped down to the ribbing.

I'm so glad I did. I added stitch markers where a new section of cables start and it looks great. I also added post it markers to help me keep track of where I am in the cable pattern, which is the only reasonable way for me to tackle this. I'm officially addicted. It's so much fun to knit, and even more exciting is the fact that the front will be the exact same thing.

Since my last post, I also finished The Narrative of Sir Arthur Gordon Pym and as I suspected, the book came to a tragic end. I don't have anything else I'm currently reading at the moment.

I haven't shared any project updates in the last week and a half so I figured I should probably update you on my sweaters!

I finally received the yarn for my husband's sweater last Friday, but didn't cat on until a couple days ago. So, not too much to look at right now but at least I've started. The yarn is bluer than the picture shows.

As for my sweater, I'm about half way done with the back piece. I'm not sure how much free time I'll have in the next couple weeks but I'm hoping to finish before the end of the month.
